This game should REALLY be getting more attention. I understand it's not finished and most of the game wasn't implemented but what IS here is really nice. Remember to play and rate other games, I know it can be discouraging when a project doesn't pan out as expected but to me this is still a really solid entry.

I absolutely love the art haha. It's freaking adorable, and it's incredibly consistent. EVERYTHING is drawn in that style, even the health bar. Wow. I even like the roughness where you can see some of the parts that were erased haha, it's just brilliant.

It seems like the programmer had their hands full but what's in here is still very good. The movement is nice and has some subtleties to it. The platforming is decent and at the very least handled collisions and whatnot well. The jumping felt perhaps a bit over exaggerated but works nicely with the block sizes.

Last but not least the audio work was also on par with everything else. Nice little jumping and "hurt" sounds give extra impact to actions and the background track is cheery and matches with the tone of the art.

I dunno, maybe the animations and stuff just really make this thing for me but everything has a nice feel to it and makes me smile. I would gladly return back and play and give additional feedback on a post-jam version if that became a thing.

Also consider creating a Unity webplayer version, I've noticed other people are also still uploading webplayer versions even though it won't be compatible with chrome soon and they're working fine on my end.

Loved the art! Always really great to see some handdrawn art for a jam. Also, the music was perfect! A little dorky, a little bumpin. Big fan. Awesome work, even if unfinished!

The choice of art style in this game is refreshing and enjoyable. The fact that it was all drawn and imported using a scanner is amazing .Music and animations were good too.
I didn't really feel like the theme was accurately portrayed here, and I couldn't figure out how to get past the end. That could just be my lack of ability showing.
Good stuff!

Nice pencil graphics and animation. Tough game but fun. Music is great too. Good job.

Pretty nice drawings !

I had difficulties to download the game, the link leads to broken zip ?
I could play it by cloning the github repo. Here : https://github.com/kvanderlaag/LudumDare33-Unity/tree/master/Windows

Cool entry, keep it up !

This looked really interesting, but the link went to a source page which was all html. I am not sure if the link is bad or the zip file got blown away. But I couldn't play on my mac.
